TL;DR: Malcolm Gladwell got the “10,000-hour rule” wrong—there’s no limit to the benefits of practice.

TL;DR: There’s nothing magic about 10k hours and depending on the field that may be inaccurate. On the bright side, though…

One way to think about this is simply as a reflection of the fact that, to date, we have found no limitations to the improvements that can be made with particular types of practice. As training techniques are improved and new heights of achievement are discovered, people in every area of human endeavor are constantly finding ways to get better, to raise the bar on what was thought to be possible, and there is no sign that this will stop. The horizons of human potential are expanding with each new generation.
